Real Betis Balompié is a historic Spanish football club based in Seville, competing in La Liga. While they traditionally play at the Estadio Benito Villamarín, since 2025 they have temporarily moved to the 70,000-seat Estadio La Cartuja during a €262 million redevelopment of their home ground. The club's most notable achievements include winning the league title in 1935 under Irish coach Patrick O'Connell and lifting the Copa del Rey in 1977, 2005, and 2022, with their resilient motto being ¡Viva el Betis manque pierda! (Long live Betis even when they lose!). The name "Betis" derives from the Roman name for the Guadalquivir river, and the "Real" (Royal) prefix was added in 1914 following patronage from King Alfonso XIII, the same year the club was formed through a merger of Sevilla Balompié and Betis Football Club. Interestingly, the club's iconic green-and-white vertical stripes were inspired by Scottish club Celtic, thanks to founder Manuel Ramos Asensio, who brought back the fabric from his studies in Scotland. After winning their first Segunda División title in 1932, Betis made history as the first Andalusian club in La Liga, but their 1935 championship triumph was followed by a rapid decline due to financial troubles and the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
